BALL PLAYER IS AMONG MISSING Among the names of those identi fied of the dead recovered from the wreck of the Princess Sophia appears that of William Albert Smith. Smith will be remembered by tlie people of Fairbanks as the peppery young catcher of the Fairbanks '.earn, bet ter known as "Smithy.” The young man was on his way Outside to en list. The identifying of the young man helped Tl ear up the doubt existing as to whether the "George liowey” mentioned among the missing is not John Oowie, the Fairbanks carpen ter. Howie is the grandfather of Smith and took the same boat out of Fairbanks as did the .voting man. It is assumed that they traveled to gether to the stitles and undoubtedly both were on the ill-fated boat at the time of the sinking. -lb K. 13.
